When logging in to some sites, the failure notice appears within the login
table in bright red rather than jumping to another page altogether (which
forces you to go back and enter the data again.
This is likely the same mecanism that will allow the user to click on a link
(say, 'view calendar') and have the requested content spring to life, seemingly
without forcing the eniter page to reload.
My question is: Generally speaking, how is this done (no specifics right
now), and can CFMX be used to streamline or further automate the process?
Thanks,

Re: Live page dymanic

Ranking, I think, will be a fairly low priority for this site as it is a
goverment site (Civil Air Patrol) with only a local target audience.

After what you've written about Ajax, it sounds like dealing with yet another
development environment may get nasty, in particular since I'm already not much
more than a novice CF developer. Ajax may in fact be the Cat's Pajama's, but
I'm not quite ready for that yet. In the meantime I will implement most of my
eye candy operations within the bounds of the venerable JavaScript. As the
site develops--and with it my prowace--perhaps the opportunity will arise to
experiment with other tools.

Besides, I would hate to over-complicate things unnecessarily and not be able
to extricate myself from the twisted, smoldering wreckage of a website gone
terribly wrong.
